“Ye Xing, Ye Xing!”
Ye Xing helped Sister Shuran retrieve some of the children’s clothes from the laundry room.
Then, she looked for each person’s mark on the clothes and put them into different piles before placing them in the basket. She still had to deliver them to everyone later.
At that moment, she heard an anxious shout.
However, there was a hint of excitement in the voice.
“I’m here!” Ye Xing’s hands did not stop moving.. Just from the sound, she knew that it was the famous messenger from the yard, everyone called him the cuckoo bird.
This was because the cuckoo bird in the alarm clock would always appear at the same time to remind you what time it was.
His real name was Baozi. He was a very skinny boy who ran very fast.
However, he was born with three fingers missing from his left hand, so he often wore gloves.
Gloves were his most precious possession. If anyone touched his gloves, Baozi would go all out.
“Phew, Ye Xing, so you’re here. I thought you’d be helping out in the cafeteria at this time. It was easier for me to find you.”
Ye Xing looked at him strangely. “Sister Shuran said I’m too young. There are many things that I shouldn’t do, it’s too dangerous. I’ll be fine when I’m older. Why are you looking for me? Did Mother Chen send you here?”
Baozi sat down on a pile of clothes but Ye Xing shooed him to a small stool at the side.
“These are all washed. Now that you’ve sat on them, we have to use the laundry room again.”
Baozi chuckled and scratched his head. After some thought, he took out a lollipop from his shirt pocket.
“I’m running errands for Uncle Hu. He gave it to me as a reward, let me treat you.”
Ye Xing glanced at it and shook her head. “Keep it for yourself. Look, my teeth haven’t grown out yet. If I eat too much candy, my teeth will go bad. If I don’t grow teeth, I’ll become an ugly girl in the future, then no family will adopt me.”
The little girl spoke very seriously. Her round eyes were full of determination.
Baozi scratched his head. After thinking for a moment, he put the lollipop back.
“Ah, right, I almost forgot. There’s a charity event in our yard tomorrow. I wanted to ask if you want to participate. Aunt Wang Xin said it’s best if you can sing and dance. Ye Xing, you’re the best dancer among the girls, you’ll definitely have a chance. Didn’t you want to be on TV before?”
Baozi had always liked Ye Xing from the bottom of his heart. He was born disabled, so the other children would sometimes make fun of him.
After all, they were children. When they lost their temper and got into a fight, they would naturally say whatever they wanted to say.
However, only Ye Xing was different from the others.
This was because Ye Xing treated him the same as she treated others. She would never make fun of him.
Furthermore, he realized that Ye Xing never fought with other children.
If she was in a fight with other children, she would always try to persuade them that it was not good to fight.
She seemed to have a way of coaxing other children, this was something that Baozi was envious of.
He had seen Ye Xing dance before. Her dancing was particularly good and he felt that she was even better than the celebrities on television.
However, it was a pity that she did not dance often.
When Ye Xing heard this, the movement in her hands stopped for a moment. She felt a faint desire in her heart.
However, she soon shook her head, “I don’t want to be on television, those people don’t really want to bring us on television. They just want to use our pitiful background to show their kindness and let others praise them. It’s not fun at all, even if I want to dance, I’ll have to dance on television by myself in the future. I’ll definitely become a big star in the future.”
He Yang initially wanted to listen to Ye Xing and tidy up his own bed.
But in the end, he realized that he did not know how to tidy up at all.
This discovery made him somewhat embarrassed.
He wanted to find someone to help him, but he could not open his mouth. Seeing that it was getting late and he was hungry, he wanted to go to the cafeteria to eat.
He did not expect to hear Ye Xing’s words when he passed by this small room.
For a moment, a hint of curiosity appeared in his eyes.
Through their short interaction, he had always felt that this little girl called Ye Xing was silly.
He did not expect her to be so clear about such things.
